Donate items for Refugee Christmas Gift Boxes
Being far away from your family, friends and everything you are used to is hard, especially at festival time: help us make locally-housed men seeking sanctuary to feel loved at this time; even just giving one item will make a massive difference. We need: New men’s socks & boxers/underpants, beanies and gloves, moisturiser, pens and notebooks, and chocolate.
Drop off points are:
